For most of us, winter has really and truly hit: cold winds, deep snow, gray skies. Unless you’ve planned a tropical vacation for yourself (smart!), you may need some strategies to get through these chilly, dreary months.
First is fragrance. As many of you know, it’s a surefire way to influence mood* — it can literally help change our minds. If you’re suffering from the blues, scented candles, soaps, perfumes, and body lotions will have you feel rosier in no time.
Cinnamon: This spicy fragrance is thought to have stimulating and aphrodisiac (!) qualities. Try lighting a cinnamon-scented candle to rev up date night.
Lemon: Cheerful and bright, the aroma of lemons has energizing properties. Outfit your sinks with lemon soap for a boost every time you wash your hands.
Rose: The sweet scent of roses is thought to calm the nerves and even ease headaches. Dab on a little rose perfume oil before any challenging task, like taking a test, giving a presentation, or negotiating a deal.
Lavender: Long used as a sleep aid, lavender soothes and relaxes. Try smoothing on some lavender body lotion before you climb into bed for a restful night.
Peppermint: This common herb increases alertness. If you’re struggling to get through the 3 p.m. slump, reapply Mentha Lip Shine to perk you up.
* Scientifically speaking, our olfactory receptors connect to the limbic system — the most primitive part of our brain — and can therefore trigger emotions.
